Fury seems to have grown tired of the negotiations for the all-British heavyweight boxing match dragging on - and is instead challenging Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk to a rematch.

"This will only lead to a fight against Oleksandr Usyk," Fury said in a video on Instagram.

“Oleksandr, you are his (Joshua's) trainer and his sensei, and you know that he is... weak-minded... and that he would never face the 'Gypsy King' - which you have had the courage to do twice.”

Fury-Joshua is scheduled for November, but the venue has not been finalised. Madison Square Garden in New York is believed to be the closest, although Joshua prefers Wembley in London.

Fury has lost to Usyk twice.
